Intro

A  C#m   D    A  D  A

Verse 1:
A     C#m   D
I came upon a boy
A        D     A  D  A
Who had gone astray
A        C#m       D
He moved to the country
A                   D            E
And lived there in patterns of disarray

Pre-Chorus:
A                   E
Sometimes he would sing
              C#m             B
Or if it was spring he would say
    A               C#m  E    D   A  D  A
“I think I'll do my planting today”

Chorus:
A              C#m              D
Oh my country boy, my hesitant joy
                          A          D
I love you more than the sun in the sky
                      E          A   D   A
And the oceans that colour your eyes

Verse 2:
A        C#m   D
He lived in a small house
A             D     A  D  A
Faded from winter's cold
A        C#m       D
He'd seen too much darkness
A                   D                 E
And lived there content to fit to his mold

Pre-Chorus:
A                   E
Sometimes he would sing
              C#m             B
Or if it was spring he would scold
    A                       C#m  E       D   A  D  A
“I must move quickly for I fear growing old”

Chorus:
A              C#m              D
Oh my country boy, my hesitant joy
                          A          D
I love you more than the sun in the sky
                      E          A   D   A
And the oceans that colour your eyes

Verse 3:
A        C#m   D
He spoke of years gone past
A             D           A  D  A
Like they were his old friends
A        C#m       D
He'd seen days like rivers
A                   D                 E
And lived them in their own sways and bends

Pre-Chorus:
A                   E
Sometimes he would sing
              C#m             B
Or if it was spring he would send
    A              C#m  E               D   A  D  A
Letters from his heart trying to make amends

Chorus:
A              C#m              D
Oh my country boy, my hesitant joy
                          A          D
I love you more than the sun in the sky
                      E          A   D   A
And the oceans that colour your eyes
